but

that

the
discipline
and
integrity
of
that
great
institution
upon
which
our
nation
is
founded,
namely
the

When
I
speak

I.
do
not

rather
self-discipline
where
the
9
complete
freedom
of
the
indi
­
vidual
is
tempered
to
the
rights
of
‘
others.
Certainly
the'young

and

of
today
have
a
right
to
receive
in
the

if
anywhere,
that
training
in
self-
discipline

that
we

­
charged
to
the
full
the
duty
we
owe
to
them
and
to

in

Let
us
determine

we

that

LET
THEJURY
ALONE
-
A
growing
habit
among
Westches
­
ter
attorneys,
innocent
in
its
incep­
tion
but
pernicious
in
its
possibilities,
lias
been
quietly
nipped
in
the
bud
bv
a
rebuke
delivered
to
the
mem­
bers
of
the
bar
by
Supreme
Court
Justice
Young
of
Oasining.
The
learned
judge,
informed
by
an
attorney
that
the
jury
had
felt
an
award
they
had
made
to
be
really
too
small,
frankly
admitted
that
he
had
discussed
the
verdict
wi^h
jury
­
men
after
it
had
been
announced.
That,
said
the
judge,
is
not
only
unethical
but
a
practice
which
should'
be
strongly
discouraged.
In
the
first
place,
argues
the
Os
­
sining
jurist,
the
jury
should
not
be
called
upon
to
explain
its
verdict:
j
the
knowledge
that
its
members
must
I
do
so
will
of
a
necessity
weigh
upon
!
their
minds
as
they
consider
the
case.
I
Again,
the
interrogation
of
the
|
jurymen
by
attorneys
does
not
end
i
with
that
particular
case.
For
a
jury
j
is
on
duty
for
a
month
and
tomorrow
j
may
have
a
case
before
them
with
!
the
same
attorneys
who
tried
another
|
case
yesterday
and
who
interrogate
!
them
on
yesterday's
verdict
today.
This,
says
the
judge,
negotiates
a
j
relationship.entirely
too
close
and
intimate-between
jurymen
ijnd
at-
i
lorneys.
I
Justice
Young
is
right
in
every
contention.
The
farther
a
jury
and
an
attorney
are
separated,
the
better.
Not
that
either
is
dishonest
or
pur
­
posely
unethical.
But
the
law,
like
Caesar
’
s
wife,
must
be
above
sus­
picion.
They
must
both
avoid
the
very
appearance
of
evil.
When
a
verdict
is
rendered
the
jury-should
be
just
as
immune
from
questioning
as
before.
The
keystone
of
justice,
a
Jury
must
be
sacrosanct.

Support the City Plan. A school surrey to determine the facilities needed. Purchase of needed parks and ' playgrounds. FOR WESTCHESTER COUNTY Adoption of uniform traffic code. Completion of Parkway program. Elimination of grade crossings. Extension of trunk sciccr system. Uniform system of assessment. EQUALIZING SEXES IN WILLS Westchester'County may well he proud.of the part which Surrogate Slater of Port Chester has played in the important revision of the laws of This state dealing with the probate of $ills arid the dispositions of es ­ tates of'deceased persons. Of a matter which is highly tech ­ nical and containing a touch St the gruesome for ordinary folk, it is but natural that little has appeared in print regarding the work of Surro ­ gate Slater and the other members of the committee on revision. The information that Governor Roosevelt had. made a ceremony of signing the new laws shows the importance he attaches to the measure. By the new law. known ns the de ­ cedents estates bill, there is now for the first time in this state, absolute •quality as regards the sexes in in ­ heritances. Also, it is no longer pos ­ sible, after September 1 of next year when the law becomes effective, for either a husband or a wife to disin ­ herit the other. Another liigh point is that only* one-half of an estate-n&jiy. be given away to charity, a provision undoubt­ edly inserted to check unfairness to living heirs. A broadening of tlie provisions re ­ garding the custody of realty is also included, executors now being given such rights unless specifically foi'- / bidden in the will. Surrogate \Slater in his discussion of the measure, points out aptly enough that sinco 1830, the last re ­ vision of Such laws, the character of property has changed enormously^ Then real estate, was the principal asset of an estate. Now it may be stacks or bonds, something little known a century ago. . Surrogate Slater is to be congratu ­ lated upon his part in this important •tale -work amT Westchester sliouIcT \be proud of his able and adequate representation of the commission. OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS There are more than 250 teachers in our public schools. Torhaps there is no other calling which demands so much and gives so little Jn returp. The school teacher, we have often thought, is born. Certain it is that few of us are qualified for the task. As a class the school teacher has the respect of the community. It is •' von k. v meritorious sevrice.' The teacher who wins the confidence of the pupil and of the parent is not the exception, but the rule. Boards of education arc careful in their selection of teachers. Commit ­ tees make thorough examinations. When qualifications are established to the satisfaction of the bodv dcle- . gated to the task,.it is the dutv of the parent to accept the decision ’ and to give to the school teacher air equal measure of loyalty with that the teacher gives to the service. If The Daily Press staff were not ^experienced in the ways of school • boards and a sensational press we might be alarmed'for the future by. some of the scare-heads flung in ouV faces .in While Plains in recent months. There appears to have been a studied effort to make the While Plains public believe that a situation 7 exisU in fact which exists onlv in the minds of sensation mongers. Our Board of Education is accbunt- *ble to the people of White Plains for its actions. We believe that ” it has the confidence of the people-of the city and that it will be sustained tn r.ny action it deems fit to take. If It decides that the best interests of . the, school system compel executive •mions for the disposition of deli ­ cate cases which may come before it, the board should not hesitate to conduct auch sdujions and to make its decisions unhampered. The chronicling of what happens in an executive session, especially where action may involve the repu ­ tation of a teacher, is a matter “ off the record\ anti ita publication can serve no useful or public purpose; The Daily Press will publish the records of pveo - open session of every official board in this city, hut it must not bo expected to peer behind the cqtfain and dig up scandal. We leave that task to those more experi ­ enced in the task. IT STARTS IN THE HOME J. Thatcher Sears of Glens Falls, pnst district governor of Rotary, has discovered little difference between the mentors of ntfes long- forgotten ^nd the present. A student and an historian. Dr. • Scars gets a “ kick ” out of things which would excite little interest in the average person. Yet, he has some conclusions which most think ­ ing persons must arrive at if they analyze the conditions which con* fsont us today. History repeats itself. America today, Dr. Scars iikens. to Imperial Home at the heighth of her power. And he asks, is Americano: follow the example of Rome? \ Wealth, 'experience ‘ teaches, is a jffent power for. good or for evil. Properly administered it bring hap ­ piness not only to the owner but to all about him. Improperly controlled St lends to deatnnJ.ion. We who are •prnne to criticize the youth of today for its lax morals and its vulgarity must ask ourselves have we measured up to the responsibility which parenthood imposed upon us? Would onr childreirhe lazy without our tacit approval? Would they be vulgar outside if we did not per ­ mit vulgarity in the home? ' Then lot us hear Dr. Sears: • First of all then 1 would touch upon the respondibility which we nil owe as a citizen of our com ­ monwealth — to maintain' high ethical standards and to resist the corroding influenceWhich if history speaks truly follows hard on the heels of an over-abund- . mice of wealth and power and second that we as men maintain . the discipline and integrity of that great institution upon which our nation is founded, namely the home. When I speak of dis^ ciplino in the home, I. do not mean coercive discipline but rather self-discipline where the 9 complete freedom of the indi ­ vidual is tempered to the rights of ‘ others. Certainly the'young hoys and girls of today have a right to receive in the home, if anywhere, that training in self- discipline and to respect the rights of others Whether such in- , junctions be laws established by custom w-written laws. So let us not blame the children until we are certain that we have dis ­ charged to the full the duty we owe to them and to society in general. Let us determine that we have done all that we are capable of.doing to guide the youngsters as they should be guided before w?~thrust them aside as hopeless. Conditions are different todiiy than they were a quarter of a cen ­ tury ago and-it'may be more diffi ­ cult to maintain what we were proud to call the American home. But human nature is the same. We adapt oilrselves readily to changing con­ ditions and circumstances. We have . the same ideals to guide -us that our fathers had. We owe it to ourselves and we owe it. to posterity to see that -these -ideals are-ne v e r for gotten, ---- LET THEJURY ALONE - A growing habit among Westches ­ ter attorneys, innocent in its incep­ tion but pernicious in its possibilities, lias been quietly nipped in the bud bv a rebuke delivered to the mem­ bers of the bar by Supreme Court Justice Young of Oasining. The learned judge, informed by an attorney that the jury had felt an award they had made to be really too small, frankly admitted that he had discussed the verdict wi^h jury ­ men after it had been announced. That, said the judge, is not only unethical but a practice which should' be strongly discouraged. In the first place, argues the Os ­ sining jurist, the jury should not be called upon to explain its verdict: j the knowledge that its members must I do so will of a necessity weigh upon ! their minds as they consider the case. I Again, the interrogation of the | jurymen by attorneys does not end i with that particular case. For a jury j is on duty for a month and tomorrow j may have a case before them with ! the same attorneys who tried another | case yesterday and who interrogate ! them on yesterday's verdict today. This, says the judge, negotiates a j relationship.entirely too close and intimate-between jurymen ijnd at- i lorneys. I Justice Young is right in every contention. The farther a jury and an attorney are separated, the better. Not that either is dishonest or pur ­ posely unethical. But the law, like Caesar ’ s wife, must be above sus­ picion. They must both avoid the very appearance of evil. When a verdict is rendered the jury-should be just as immune from questioning as before. The keystone of justice, a Jury must be sacrosanct.

The committee Is especially anxious that all dan ­ gerous crossings In the county be covered by these signs and that much protection afford ­ ed against accidents. Westchester County ’ s forward step In traf ­ fic matters should .draw-general attention. Throughout the country the question of traf ­ fic Is outstanding In the problerps facing every community.' Perhaps It Is not too much to hope for the day when trafflo codes, in the main, will be the aq^e. throughout the country.

The witness Upon the stand'who wil fully distorts the ’ truth or lie* Is undermining the whole structure upon which, law anil or ­ der rests. For*If ah oath becomes a ptilllly In the mind of a witness, then whom cqn the Jury and the Judge believe? Undoubtedly there la perjury in many cases. Were every witness to tell exactly the truth, no more and no less, the work of Juries and of Judges would become >o leunrned that one- half or more of the cost of our system of Jurisprudence could be taken from the shoul ­ ders of taxpayers. Certainly If this utopian condition were to prevail there would luglcs* need of courts. For differences of opinion can- always be wiped our without rcfercnccj.Wh'cn both par ­ ties tall the exact truth. It la In the shading, the twilight rone, that tSgccuracies creep in. No two persons see the name Incident In the same light. And even If there be no particular Intent to swear false- ly, human frailties creep in and those prone to regard their affairs In a tolerant manner differ from others lean biased. Mr. Coyne Is right In his declaration that a few more convictions for perjury will help the courts Immensely. It might consider In Its widest effe'et. cut. down crime. Wherever there is perjury upon any ma ­ terial facts, the duty of the District Attor ­ ney is clear — prosecute to the. extent of his ability and the law — Tarrytown Dally New* f ----------- - -------------- 1 Westchester i First JUST FOLKS i By EDGAR •.
